AES/EBU digital outputs 

 

 

 

 

For  installations  that  require  a  long  run  of  cable  between  the  transport  and  digital-analog 

converter we would recommend using a balanced AES/EBU connection. The AES/EBU will 

output  digital  audio  data  from  any  CD  playing  and  can  either  be  used  as  two  identical 

outputs or combined as one 176.4KHz dual data output. 

 

 

 

Frequency settings 

 

When the front panel frequency switch is set to 176K, the AES/EBU outputs send the Dual 

Data  output  as  outlined  in  the  previous  section.    This  may  be  useful  when  using  Red 

Reference with certain high-resolution D-A converters. 

 

When  the  frequency  switch  is  in  the  88K  position,  each  AES/EBU  output  sends  data  at 

88.2kHz; when in the 44K each output sends at 44.1kHz.
